Iran Threatens Global Strikes as US Offers Nuclear Intel Reward
Iran warns of global strikes on US assets and maintains the closure of the Strait of Hormuz while President Donald Trump claims Tehran wants a deal.
Iranian Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia warned on November 6 that Iranian forces will strike United States targets globally without geographic restrictions if Washington launches an attack. Acting under the orders of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, Akraminia stated that Iranian military bases and assets worldwide could be targeted. He further declared that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States meets seven specific Iranian conditions.
By November 7, Akraminia asserted that Iranian forces are stronger and more confident than they were at the start of the war with the United States and Israel in February. Tensions escalated as reports emerged of two missiles striking Qeshm Island, where the Iranian army claimed to have destroyed a U.S. drone. Simultaneously, the United States Department of State offered a $20 million reward for information regarding Iran's nuclear program, citing a loss of continuity of knowledge by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Despite the military escalation, diplomatic signals emerged. President Donald Trump asserted that Iran is eager to reach a deal to end the conflict, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated his government continues to seek a resolution through dialogue.
